Even then a drop of $10K over two years is still right about average and not as bad as you make it out to be.

I think where we differ is in how we see the 10k drop. For a sub 30k non German vehicle that just seems a little crazy to me.
Where the FRS comes into play here is those people were selling lower for obvious reasons. I think it accelerated the BRZ value decline, those of us selling just couldn't compete. If you think about it we made the mistake by buying the brz over the FRS, we paid a slight premium and lost that value immediately because of the shared chassis.
